Choosing a career path is harder than i thought it would be?

You've done a terrific job of looking at the alternatives, and you have correctly figured out the strong and weak points of both possibilities. So now, you need to look inside yourself to determine how to make the decision. First, the likelihood of your landing a job teaching agriculture is, as you have already determined, infinitesimally small. That fact alone should make you consider the choice extremely carefully. But when you discuss being a police officer, the best part of it for you seems to be the money. Here are a couple of other things to consider. There are lots of other things to teach besides agriculture. If you want to go into teaching, specifically, then it might be wise to pick a field like math or general science, where there usually are a lot of openings in a lot of places. Whatever you decide, you need to think about personal satisfaction as your primary motivation for the choice. At the end of the day, no matter how much money a job pays, it is not nearly enough if you hate doing it. The same is true of a job which gives you a lot of time off. If you hate the job, then it is awful when your time off ends and you have to trudge back to work. Look at the options and ask yourself what kind of work personally satisfies you. What makes you happy when you do it? And, by the way, your choice right now is not the end of the world. When I started college, I thought I was going to be an advertising executive. Instead, I became a teacher of English as a foreign language. I never got my own yacht, as some advertising executives do, but I have had a great run in the field I finally chose. So relax. Nothing is carved in stone yet.
